This research will be based on asylum seekers from the Somalia community in the London Borough of Camden. The main aim of this Research is to find answers to the relevant questions around Asylum Seekers from Somalia who have come to live in the United Kingdom because of their war torn country, who potentially face discrimination or outright struggles within the United Kingdom?

The research has involved analysing, designing and implementing a set of interviews. Other methods used were questionnaires and a case study as these two methods were most suitable for the data gathering. The research also describes the way asylum seekers applications get processed by the Home Office. The first aim was to investigate three main questions. The first question will address what makes some young people seek asylum in Britain? Followed by What employment, training and educational opportunities are available to young Somali people? Next, the research will look if the Somali asylum seekers feel discriminated against? Definitions of the term asylum seekers will also be given.

By conducting face-to-face interviews with asylum seekers, in depth understanding will be generated and some of the questions can be answered.

Introduction

This study is based on asylum seekers from the Somali community in Camden borough. The reason the research has been conducted in Camden borough, as it’s the Borough I have grown up in and I have been living in for the last 22 years. Also this borough has seen large Somali asylum seekers coming to live over the years and it has the 2nd largest ethnic population. Having gone through asylum process myself back in the early 1990s and having a background of an asylum seeker was the main motivation that made me want to do this research project.

In this research I will be focussing on the process, which asylum seekers from Somalia go through in the UK. When a Somali person applies for asylum, his or her status is that of asylum seeker. A further definition of the term asylum seeker is a person who has crossed an international border to seek safety and refugee status; (Ruter, 1994)

This Research project will attempt to understand the opportunities that are available to young Somali seekers in order to integrate successfully into society so they can become active citizens. The main themes of the research are employment, training and education services for this particular group of people. This will be done by examining case studies and government policies. The methods that were used to conduct the research have been interviews, questionnaires and case studies, all...

Part One Final Project
This project is created to improve the processes at Aera Energy, LLC to increase the effectiveness of diversity training within the workforce. Our goal is to effectively address the lack of awareness, limited skills, knowledge and appreciation of the individual differences within the workplace. The effort to develop, implement and execute a diversity training program that will transform our work environment to one of cohesiveness and fully engaged workers is our organizational objective. Incorporating a broader dialog to allow improved team work, eliciting creativity and innovation is crucial in our endeavors. Only when organizations allow diversity to materially affect underlying work practices can businesses be confident that they are being good stewards of a diverse workforce (Cocchiara, Connerley, &amp; Bell, 2010).
The need for change is critical in our ability to retain and hire our most valuable resources, our talented employees. A description of the project’s primary stakeholders, their roles, and their vital contributions for the success of this project is also addressed. An initial project appraisal, expectations, the groundwork...

...1. What is research?
• The systematic investigation into and the study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions
• Acts or periods of such investigation
• Engaged in or intended for use in such investigation and discovery

2. What is research paper?
For starters, aresearch paper is primarily characterized by its use of data gathered from a wide range of sources to clarify, analyze, expound on, discover, discuss, and debate an idea. It entails undertaking a scholarly endeavour and acquainting yourself with the variety of materials at your disposal (e.g., the library, various institutions,, field interviews, questionnaires, the Internet, email and the like) to support your claims. In other words, whenever you write ordinary expository papers or close reading analyses of literary texts, all you do is organize and record your own ideas and reactions, without necessarily using evidence to analyze relationships, debate ideas, weigh facts and opinions, and argue a point. For example, writing a report on a cultural practice of the Tasadays will not necessarily acquaint you with a cross reference of materials; open any standard book on Philippine culture and you are bound to have all the information you will need. Even if you manage to find other...

...STEPS IN DOING LIBRARY RESEARCH
1ST: Choose a general topic
2nd: Read a little about it to know what specific topic interest you
3rd: Formulate a question on what you want to know
4th: Collect information to answer your question
5th: Formulate thesis statement
6th: Make an outline
7th: Write the research paper
8th: Type/ computerize the final draft
1. Choosing a general topic
If your instructor does not assign a general subject area, you may discover your general subject from the following instances:
• Observation
• Experiences
• Readings
• Radio programs
• Television talk show
• Conversations
• Class discussion
• Information obtained from surfing the internet
2. Doing a preliminary reading
a. Reading for an overview of the general subject
With a general topic in your mind, proceed with a search for a specific topic by taking an overview of your general subject.
b. Narrowing to a specific aspect of the general subject
Pare down your topic several times, for if it’s too broad, the tendency is for you to treat it too skimpily for an in-depth analysis, however if it’s too narrow that scanning a book or two suffices to answer your question, quality discussion may be unnecessary. Therefore, be sure that the topic is limited enough for you to discuss fully in the length prescribed by your professor.

Research Proposal
In recent years, the amount of media coverage surrounding assisted suicide, or euthanasia, has increased. The term evokes a multitude of emotive responses. The Royal College of Nursing completed research on the issue of euthanasia initiating change in their policy of opposition to euthanasia (Robinson, Greenwood, 2009). This particular study received criticism based on the small sample size used for the study. Research is an organized inquiry carried out to provide information for solving problems. Solid research generates dependable data derived by professionally conducted practices and that can be used reliably for decision making (Cooper &amp; Schindler, 2011). Our group seeks to address the research question, hypothesis, variables, and ethical issues along with discussing the significance and magnitude of finding some logical solution to the issue called “Euthanasia.” Assisted suicide gives the health care provider the option of avoiding care giving during a time of little demand for euthanasia services.
Research Question
Comprehending the term “euthanasia” in the medical world is vital because its controversy always develop suspicious questions....

...least three approaches or theories evaluate the usefulness of conducting comparative policy research.
The comparative approach to the study of social life has a long tradition dating back to Ancient Greece. In the social sciences comparative research is widely employed to describe the studies of societies, cultures, institutions etc. and changes over time and space, when they are carried out with the intention of using the same research tool to compare systematically the manifestations of the phenomena in more than one temporal or spatial sociocultural setting (Hantrais 2009). Policy research however is seen as a special type of research that can provide community and decision-makers with useful recommendation and possible actions for resolving fundamental problems. Policy research has recently gained much attention as government and international organisations are recognising the important role that research can play in policy development. Policy research is done by a number of different institutions and persons including but not limited to academics, lobby groups, pressure groups. The methods of investigation employed by the investigators must be based on the nature of the research area and the questions being asked. Three approaches of comparative research are studies, Surveys and the review of existing research will...

...form 1 and therefore a thorough research about the errors made especially in writing will be helpful for the teachers and schools to cater their students with all the needed lesson or skills to learn. Teaching just by following the syllabus is not really helpful as there are different levels of students to be catered in class. Hopefully, this research can give more insight and idea for teachers to plan their teaching in future.
2.0 SUMMMARY OF PREVIOUSRESEARCH
There are not much researches made to investigate about fossilization among second language learner. There are a few of them that focus on the approach of typical errors, advanced-learner, corrective feedback and so on. In 1989, Kellerman studied the linguistic features that give rise to the syntactic accent of Dutch-English interlanguage. The hypothesis of the study was whether the homogenous background of L1 and the errors that not only stay with the members but also with its most advanced members are indicative of fossilization. So the study was focusing on wide range of Dutch respondents that use English as a second language. The findings show that fossilized structure was a function of intersection of multiple tendencies that are avoidance directly transferring the modal meaning of Dutch past tenses to English past tenses, avoidance of structural ambiguity and creation of a structural symmetry. The Native language influence was said to have taken a subtle form....

Critical Review of a Research Article
Pupils who exhibit gifted characteristics along with another disability are referred to as twice-exceptional students' (Morrison, 2001; Nielsen 2002). This term is used in the article that I have chosen to review, which analyses the responses and perceptions through interview, of one particular individual (Andrew) who was identified as being gifted and talented (G/T) and who had emotional and behavioural disabilities (EBD). What the researchers aimed to accomplish through this analysis was a clearer understanding of Andrew's community and school experiences, as they stated that there was a lack of empirical data focusing upon pupils who displayed such behaviours.
The features of the research design were straightforward and simple: a qualitative analysis with one participant; a structured interview, recorded then later transcribed and analysed to produce 3 themes; a conclusion which produced findings of Andrew's experiences as a twice-exceptional student. It is the appropriateness of the methods that were used in this study which will inform my first critique of this article. I will then move on to discuss the data which was collected, before finally examining how effective the conclusion is.
Morrison and Omdal chose to include only one participant in their study, which compares quite significantly to the...

Abstract
The abstract is a brief summary of the entire proposal, typically ranging from 150 to 250 words.
It is different from a thesis statement in that the abstract summarizes the entire proposal, not just
mentioning the study’s purpose or hypothesis. Therefore, the abstract should outline the
proposal’s major headings: the research question, theoretical framework, research design,
sampling method, instrumentation, and data and analysis procedures. A good abstract accurately
reflects the content of the proposal, while at the same time being coherent, readable, and concise.
Do not add any information in the abstract that is not previously discussed throughout the
proposal. Notice this paragraph is not indented; the abstract will be the only paragraph in the
entire proposal that is not indented. Because it highlights the entire proposal, it would be wise to
wait and write the abstract last. This way, one merely has to reword information that was
previously written.
